Staff very friendly and breakfast was good. The property is looking tired in urgent need of refurbishment. We stayed in room 24, the curtains didn’t cover the full width of the window, wallpaper was hanging off the wall, the electric radiator in the bathroom had insulation tape wrapped around the connection, tape was along the top of the bath side panel, the tv is positioned at 90 degrees to the bed which is not ideal for viewing, one bedside light kept flickering.

I have to say that I was a bit dubious of my upcoming stay here after reading so many negative reviews. We really enjoyed our one night stay here. We were in such a huge room which felt so incredibly spacious. The staff were friendly and worked really hard to ensure that guests enjoyed their stay. Yes there could be some decor improvement as a little dated or worn but none of this really impacted our stay. The breakfast was nice and the staff were accommodating with any additional request.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
I found the hotel good but agree with past reviews it does need money investing in it. Our room was massive with 4 poster bed and balcony. We ate in the restaurant and the fish and chips were top notch. But best of all was the service received from Jim the man who’s seems to run the hotel all on his own. He made us feel like we were staying in a 5 star hotel. We would definitely stay here again.

My stay was comfortable and friendly. The food was of a good standard. The room was clean and functional but a little dated in style. The Wifi was adequate most of the time, however it was not available everywhere in the room, only worked in one particular spot. Housekeeping was available every day. The staff was small but friendly and accommodating. All in all a good stay.

The room was spacious and comfortable but a bit outdated. The room had an enormous window and the blind, when pulled down was ill fitting so the light woke us up at 5am. The TV didn't work which was disappointing. The hotel was generally dusty and needed some TLC. However, dinner and breakfast was very good and the staff friendly. and helpful.

Awful

Its got parking is the only positive. A once beautiful building left to rot. The staff they had tried his best but wanted a lot of help. Wallpaper hanging off walls, musty smell, avoid at all costs.
